THANK YOU for your great report & the wonderful pictures!!!!

meloncap78 · 9 April 2008, 03:00 AM

Good stuff Jocke. Emailing my wife a couple of the pics landscape wise as we speak. Maybe I can coax her into letting us go one of these years. Great photos!!!!

Alexus · 9 April 2008, 03:01 AM

thank you for the impressions...

the new SD...not my type of watch (that leads me to love my "old" one even more) ;)

Mrdi · 9 April 2008, 03:09 AM

Thanks Jocke
I like your comment about Rolex being like new cars.
It may take awhile to get used to the new design.
I have often had the same thought.
I remember when Porsche came out with the 911 in 1965.
It was of course to replace the venerable 356.
Many officianados called the new 911 the "Clownmaster".
The 911 remains an ICON today more than 40 years later.

great job Jocke !!

thanks for sharing pal

harvey · 9 April 2008, 03:36 AM

excellent report :)

JJ Irani · 9 April 2008, 03:40 AM

Thanks for your excellent report and pics, Jocke.

Looks like there's the usual disappointment from Rolex.....and, like I said, the TT GMT-IIC seems to be the best model to come out of from them in recent times.

Wow amazing pictures..thanks~!!

diversified · 9 April 2008, 04:05 AM

What more can I say but "WOW". I'm probaly going to be looking at this post for the next year. I agree with everything you said, EXCEPT, I like what Rolex did with the Deep Sea. The changes to the Deep Sea really seperate it from the Sub now.

Scooby · 9 April 2008, 04:06 AM

Thanks Jocke. Another great report. Did you see anything else (non-Rolex, non-GO) that caught your eye?

What about this? I was wondering if it was the lighting or not. Is it an SS or YG?

Superb work Jocke. I enjoyed it very much!

Letsgodiving · 9 April 2008, 04:52 AM

Excellent tour Jocke. Looks like you have confirmed that the colour of the Blue on the new Sub is as bad in person as it looks in the photos. Thanks for all the time and effort to give us a taste of Basel.

JBat · 9 April 2008, 04:54 AM

Thanks for the report and pics, Jocke.

I say to hell with some of the ugly new Rollie designs, give me a couple of the Glashutte's! Those are some sweet timepieces.

Welshwatchman · 9 April 2008, 04:57 AM

I alway enjoy your Basel report, Jocke.

This GO is very striking indeed.
